re: #320 Justanotherhuman

“My god, what a prodigious bluff. Also, my god, what towering arrogance? These guys own half the world and have enough money to buy the other half, and they’re threatening the party still most likely to control the White House because they don’t like the Senator Professor’s tone? Her tone? Sherrod Brown’s tone? These are guys who should be worried about the tone of the guard who’s calling them down to breakfast at Danbury and they’re concerned about the tenderness of their Savile Row’d fee-fees? Honkies, please.”

It’s not a bluff, but it is an attempt to get Hillary Clinton to crack the whip and order the senators Wall Street doesn’t like to quiet down and go bother someone else. It might well work too, given how likely Clinton is to depend on a campaign based on hitting her opponent with the Money Stick.
